VE Day had atmosphere of relief, says WW2 veteran

Wales' First Minister Eluned Morgan led a service to mark 80 years since the end of World War Two in Europe.

The VE Day 80 service, took place at Cardiff's Llandaff Cathedral on Wednesday evening, brought together about 250 people, including veterans and politicians, paying tribute to those who helped secure peace in Europe.

It was held a day before a national service of remembrance and thanksgiving for VE Day, taking place at Westminster Abbey in London.

"It's an honour to be going to Llandaff Cathedral to remember the exceptional courage and resilience of those who fought for our freedom," Morgan said.

A war veteran said he remembered an atmosphere of "relief" during VE Day in 1945.
